Features options to improve your website performance and get a higher score on the major speed testing services.

== Description ==

Speed Booster Pack allows you to improve your page loading speed and get a higher score on the major speed testing services such as [GTmetrix](http://gtmetrix.com/), [Google PageSpeed](http://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/insights/), [YSlow](https://developer.yahoo.com/yslow/), [Pingdom](http://tools.pingdom.com/fpt/), [Webpagetest](http://www.webpagetest.org/) or other speed testing tools.

= Why Site Speed Is Important =

When visitors lands on your site for the first time, you only have 3 seconds to capture their attention and convince them to stick around. That's not convinced you? Read on:

* Google incorporating site speed in search rankings
* 47% of online consumers expect a web page to load in 2 seconds or less
* 40% of people will abandon a site that takes more than 3 seconds to load
* 80% of online consumers are less likely to return to a slow website

= Main Plugin Features =

* **Moves scripts to the footer** to improve page loading speed.
* **Loads javascript files from Google Libraries** rather than serving them from your WordPress install directly, to reduce latency, increase parallelism and improve caching.
* **Defers parsing of javascript files** to reduce the initial load time of your page.
* **Removes query strings from static resources** to improve your speed scores.
* **Lazy load images** to improve page load times and save bandwidth.
* **Removes extra Font Awesome stylesheets** added to your theme by certain plugins, if *Font Awesome* is already used in your theme.
* **Removes junk header tags** to clean up your WordPress Header.

= Page Load Stats =

Page Load Stats is a brief statistic displayed in the plugin options page. It displays your homepage loading speed (in seconds) and number of processed queries.

**Page loading time** – the progress bar color will be:

* *green* if the page load takes less than a second
* *orange* when loading the page takes between 1 and 2 seconds
* *red* if the page loading takes longer than 2 seconds

**Number of executed queries** – the progress bar color will be:

* *green* if there were less than 100 queries
* *orange* if there were between 100 and 200 queries
* *red* if the page required more than 200 queries
